Emperor Spike
Chapter 12: Chapter 10: Governor Starlight Glimmer
Previous Chapter Next ChapterStarlight stood next to Spike's throne, unable to get over what happened yesterday. She found herself unable to think of anything but Sunburst's betrayal. How could he do something like this? How could he sign himself over to Spike?
Speaking of Spike, the Emperor was pacing back and forth in the middle of the throne room, while Ember lounged in Spike's throne. Thorax knelt on the ground next to Ember, his head following Spike as he walked back and forth.
Thorax blinked twice as he turned to Ember. "What is our Emperor so worried about?" The Changeling asked sheepishly.
"I dunno. Something about a Governor visiting. I tend to ignore politics and junk." Ember said picking at something between her teeth with a pinkie claw. Spike suddenly perked up and gestured to the two.
"She's here." Spike said as he cleared his throat. "Thorax, Ember. Over here, quick please. Starlight.... You do whatever."
Thorax and Ember were quick to get onto their feet/hooves and rush over to Spike, who put an arm on either of their shoulders and pulled them close to him. Starlight didn't move. She knew what was about to enter the throne room.
The throne room doors glowed a deep turquoise, before slamming open and two ponies walked in. Well, one walked, and one crawled.
"Hello my Emperor!" Starlight Glimmer cried out with a large wave, attached to her hand via a leash was the nude form of Trixie who was on her hands and knees. Starlight's face turned green when she barked.
"Starlight. It is great to see you." Spike said walking forwards and clasped hands with her. "Truly wonderful to have you here."
"And it is wonderful to be here." Starlight 2 said with a smile.
Spike leaned down and whispered into her ear. "Before we get to the main attraction I was wondering if you could..." Spike rolled his hand, searching for the words before giving up and just gesturing to Ember and Thorax, who shot a confused glance to each other.
Starlight 2 chuckled. "Of course I can. I am very use to slave owners asking me to do that. I'm guessing temporarily?" Her horn glowed a rather chilling turquoise, a color Starlight was all too common with.
Spike smiled and nodded down at her. Ember opened her mouth to say something before both Ember and Thorax's eyes turned a solid blue and they both tensed up. The two stood still for a couple seconds as the Governor worked her magic until her horn stopped and they dropped to the ground.
The Emperor walked up to Thorax, mainly because he was closer and kneeled down next to him, a mix of excitement and worry on his face. He trusted Starlight to not cause any damage rooting around in their heads, but one cannot always shake the slight concern at seeing your slaves fall to the ground.
Thorax slowly came to and pulled himself onto his hands and knees, looking up at Spike for a couple seconds.
"A... Arf?" The little changeling barked up at Spike.
Both Starlight's felt their ears might have betrayed them when the Emperor practically squealed. "Aww! He's so adorable!" The Emperor said before clearing his throat and blushing.
"Ehem, I mean... Good work Starlight. I can always count on you." He corrected himself while running a hand down Thorax's back, who tried to wag his trail in response, it was sort of tied up to prevent it from moving though.
The changeling flopped onto his back to give the Emperor access to his belly, which Spike rubbed affectionately. The Emperor's gruff exterior shattered again. "Awww who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?" The dragon repeated, which caused the changeling's leg to kick the air.
Spike laughed at the cute pants and high pitched barks his pet was making. He opened his mouth to say something before being tackled by the blue form of Ember. The dragoness pinned her master down and stared down at him. Before Spike could even react he found him self assaulted by a rather viscous stream of face licks.
Thorax gave a couple whimpers after having Ember steal Spike away from him, but felt content to not really. She was, in his mind at least, the beta to his omega.
"Argh! Ooof! Ember! Bad! No jumping!" Spike cried but that really didn't do anything to stop her. "Go play with Thorax or something!"
Ember pulled back after her attack on Spike, and slowly turned over to her fellow slave. Despite the fact that he now believed he was a dog, Thorax was still very much a scaredy-cat. The changeling shirked back and would have run away if Ember hadn't already pounced towards him. Thorax failed to escape her in time and was pinned by the much stronger dragoness, her reptilian tail wagging behind her.
Starlight 2 reached down and pulled Spike into a standing position. Trixie's leash was grabbed out of Starlight's hand by magic, dragging the slave away and tying her to one of the statues in the room, that of Fluttershy.
The Governor laughed as Spike rubbed his face clean. "Don't worry, that sort of thing is very common when I do my mind magic. No need to be embarrassed."
"I'm not." Spike said as he looked over to his slaves. Ember was attacking Thorax this time with face licks. A very precious sight to him. "They are just so cute."
Spike stared at them for a couple seconds, a warm smile on his face before perking up. "Anyway! Onto the main attraction."
Spike made a heel turn and locked eyes with Starlight 1, marching in her direction. "Governor Starlight. Allow me to introduce you to Starlight Glimmer."
Governor Starlight walked directly up to her counterpart and looked her up and down, a hand on her chin. Starlight 1 stared back at her. The Governor was wearing what looked like a purple tuxedo, with a neon green tie and a white undershirt. Her hair style was the same, but she had tattoo on her cheek, which looked like the wing of a dragon. She wore two rather tall jackboots and an arm band which featured the insignia of the Dragon Empire.
"Hmph. I expected her to be taller." Governor Starlight said flicking her counterpart in the horn.
The other Starlight growled at her. "How could you do that to Trixie?"
The Governor chuckled. "How could you not? She loves this! Don't you Trixie?" She called back to her slave on the other side of the room. The blue unicorn gave an affirming bark in response.
"She does not! You're just manipulating her!" Starlight shouted.
The Governor laughed in her face. "Bitch, she asked me to do it to her." Starlight clenched her fists, but she knew not to act.
"Why... Why would you betray Equestria? Your friends!?!"
"I didn't. Equestria betrayed it's own people. And my 'friends' did nothing but perpetrate that betrayal. Equestria never cared about anyone but it's 6 special snowflakes and it's leaders. It was a broken fucking nation that did nothing to help the people that had their lives ruined and destroyed by Celestia's little plot to turn her student into an Alicorn." The Governor said before grabbing her counterpart by the collar and pulling her face closer to hers.
"Get this through your thick skull before you try anything." The Governor hissed. "I am not you. I am better than you in everyway. Capiche?"
Starlight didn't say anything. She just frowned. The Governor scoffed, before she pushed her counterpart and slammed her against the room's back wall. "Typical vermin."
Spike was quiet for a couple seconds, as Starlight 2 brushed some dust off her uniform.
"Well anyway!" Starlight said turning towards her ruler. "I'm here for the next couple days. I left Spoiled Rich and Filthy Rich behind to manage Ponyvile while I am up here. So I am up for doing anything. Anything at all."
Spike rubbed his chin for a couple minutes before turning to Starlight. "Have you ever played Ogres & Oubliettes? My old partner for the game went ahead and joined the resistance, and I've been meaning to get back into it..."
